2x+3y=5x-y. When y = 0 find x

Simplifying

2x + 3y = 5x + - 1y

Solving

2x + 3y = 5x + - 1y

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.

2x + - 5x + 3y = 5x + - 5x + - 1y

Combine like terms: 2x + - 5x = - 3x

-3x + 3y = 5x + - 5x + - 1y

Combine like terms: 5x + - 5x = 0

-3x + 3y = 0 + - 1y

-3x + 3y = - 1y

Add '-3y' to each side of the equation.

-3x + 3y + - 3y = - 1y + - 3y

Combine like terms: 3y + - 3y = 0

-3x + 0 = - 1y + - 3y

-3x = - 1y + - 3y

Combine like terms: - 1y + - 3y = - 4y

-3x = - 4y

Divide each side by '-3'.

x = 1.333333333y

Simplifying

x = 1.333333333y
